"Sealed Pot Challenge 3"

grandmasam

Hi all, :wave:

Had to open the pot again :mad: cos a little tea leaf the police were chasing , hopped over some garden fences and kicked 4 6 by 6 fence panels down ,into my garden! Luckily Ds1 was here and quietly said 'mum, a man has just run past the window'. my living room faces into the back garden, i go out , and he is hiding by the side gate,I said 'what the f**** are you doing?' he was shocked to see me, especially with 6' 2 Ds1 behind [ex bouncer!!] so lovely son grabs him and opens the front door,propels him through into the arms of a policeman who grabbed him and said, youre nicked!!
Consequently, have had to order posts, gravel boards, [concrete ones ] and fence panels.:mad:

Thank goodness I had my pot and developed the habit of putting £2 daily away :T just gotta get another on now for the next couple of months saving. Lille Vics, sorry you had that happen,[ hugs]

The cost of materials came to £298 ! and Ds2 will be putting it up next week, so i have to make him a vveeerryy hot chili chicken garlic [lots] balti with ' some to freeze mum ' so a couple of bottles of wine as well for him. he's an ex rugby player and even bigger and broader than his Db .....and I'm only 5'!!!

Firstly apologies - I don't think I've ever posted on this thread, even though I have a number!

I'm very sad to say I'm going to have to withdraw from the fun. We had our pots (plural! we were doing so well!) stolen, so the game is over for this year.

Sob.
